I cannot undestand what is the exact difference between a bean and a simple class in java with getter and setter methods. Can someone please explain? I just read the Complete Reference, and I could not understand what exactly a bean is.

Thanks

Fubarable

A bean is nothing more than a simple Java class that conforms to the bean specifications. You can find these specifications in mult sites including at the Sun Java site and at Wikipedia.
